post op dissapointment in myself

I have just seen my surgeon for a follow up for the first time in over 3 years. I went in for stomach pains and had a diagnostic lap done, coming out with a ruptered ovarian cyst, a lot of scar tissue removed from the bypass and past tubal ligation, and one less appendix. I have gained back 30 lbs. steadily over the last six months due to my neuropathy medication (Neurontin), hopefully switching to something else next month. I asked my surgeon (he's one of the best nationwide) about a revision to help get the weight back off because I can only walk short distances at a time and can't do aerobics because of severe asthma, but he just said "diet and exercise like normal people have to". I don't see how I can do this effectively. Any suggestions and support?
